Pheromone perfumes have been marketed as a step up from your run-of-the-mill fragrances. However, given that these blends have yet to be tested and worn by a large enough population, many are left wondering – how long do they last?
Pheromone perfumes can last anywhere from four hours to six days on clothes. However, keep in mind that these are just estimates and that the longevity of your particular model will depend on factors such as its type, the quantity you’ve used, and the type of fabric you’re working with.
So, if you’re trying to figure out just how long a model you’re interested in is going to last, make sure to read on. Below, I’ll explore some of the main factors that’ll affect the longevity of your pheromone perfume on clothes, so stick around until the end.
Factors That Determine How Long Pheromone Perfume Lasts on Clothes
Pheromone perfumes are similar to their traditional counterparts in that some models are designed to last longer than others. That’s why, the first thing you want to do upon finding a brand you like is to check the label for this type of information. However, take everything you read with a grain of salt as brands are prone to embellishing the truth when they’re marketing the expected longevity of their perfumes.
However, what causes some fragrances to last so much longer than others? There are a few factors that contribute to this difference, so let’s explore them all below.
Type of Perfume
The specific formulation of the pheromone perfume you’re using is the main factor that will affect its longevity. Depending on the types of ingredients used and how they’re mixed together, some models are simply designed to be strong and long-lasting while others aim to be more subtle.
That’s why taking a look at a fragrance’s label or its information on the manufacturer’s website is a great first step to determining how long it’ll last.
How Much You’re Applying
As you might expect, the more perfume you apply, the longer it’ll last. Keep in mind that sometimes quality overshadows quantity when it comes to how long different brands linger; however, when you keep every other variable the same (e.g., test the same exact model twice), higher amounts will equate to longer wear time.
The Type of Fabric You’re Wearing
Different fabrics will hold onto scents for set amounts of time, and there’s little you can do to change that. Moreover, the way a material will react to a specific formulation can also affect the longevity of your pheromone perfume.
For example, natural fabrics like cotton and wool tend to hold onto perfume longer than most other materials.
Perfume Quality
Though I’ve briefly mentioned this before, it’s worth reiterating that the quality of your pheromone perfume is one of the main factors that will affect its longevity. Higher-quality fragrances are generally more concentrated, and, as a result, they tend to last a bit longer.
Environmental Factors
The temperature and humidity of the environment can also affect how long the scent of your pheromone perfume lasts. For example, if you’re wearing your fragrance in a warmer or more humid environment, it’s bound to fade out quickly.
Environmental factors become even more important to consider when it comes to storage. The way you look after your perfume in the long term can sometimes determine its quality, longevity, and even scent.
That’s why you’ll want to keep your perfume in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight. Excessive heat and light can cause the formulation to degrade far more quickly.
Individual Body Chemistry
You know how when you read reviews on the same exact perfume some praise it for lasting for days on end while others complain that they couldn’t smell it at all? That’s because different formulations work best with a specific type of body chemistry.
Unfortunately, if you’re looking for the fragrance that’s going to complement your body chemistry best, the only way to figure that out is to experiment. So, invest in some samples and try them all out to determine which lasts longer on your skin and clothes.
Types of Pheromones Used in the Fragrances
Since there are so many types of pheromones used in these perfumes (synthetic and natural, human and animal, and so on), they’re bound to create different wear times. So, if you already know which types of pheromones work with your body chemistry the best, always look for a fragrance that contains those.
Conclusion
Though most pheromone perfumes will last anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days, keep in mind that the specific wear time of your fragrance will vary based on several factors.
These include perfume quality, environmental factors, and your individual body chemistry, which is why it’s best to experiment with different models until you find what works for you.
